An incident report from the Greensboro Police Department has since confirmed this was the last time Marissa was seen.
As per Greensboro News & Record and WGHP, Marissa’s family say she went to the Exxon after leaving a nearby nightclub.
The 911 call was subsequently made at 3:40am local time, when Marissa told dispatchers that she'd been robbed and did not know where in Greensboro she was.
She went on to say that a person in the car with her told her to go into the Exxon to 'grab some sh*t'. However, Marissa said that while she was in the store, that person had left.

"My house hasn’t been empty since she was 14 or 15 because she had friends that we opened up our home for. If she had her phone, she would have found a way home."
The worried mom has taken matters into her own hands in a bid to find her daughter.
"I’ve made myself sick by being out in the cold but I’ve been busy investigating, getting Marissa’s face out there and getting her story out there,'" she said.
"I have my moments where I just shut down for a few hours and cry. Then I say, ‘I’ve gotta get it together. I’ve got to fight for Marissa. I’ve got to be her voice.’”
